The potential for a gas powered bus to become "clean" is nonexistent. They will always run on 0% clean energy.
The potential for those electric buses is completely maximized. They likely run on greater than 0% clean energy now, and can potentially run on 100% clean energy in the future.
The difference could not be more stark or significant.
- taneq 8y agoIt's a lot easier to get natural gas to burn down to CO2 and water than it is to get diesel to do so. You might be conflating 'clean' ( = minimal harmful emissions) with 'renewable'? Agree that electric is the way to go for both goals, though - EVs are as clean and as renewable as their power generation method.
